Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds with the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, and gem laboratories grade them on the same 4Cs. The only difference is origin: they are grown in a laboratory instead of mined. Dileti sets every lab-grown diamond engagement ring in 18K white, yellow, or rose gold in Antwerp.
Lab-grown diamonds cost significantly less than mined diamonds of the same quality, so a French pavé band can add fine diamond detail around a larger centre stone within the same budget. They are best chosen to wear and enjoy rather than as an investment, since fine jewellery is rarely bought to resell. Dileti sets each piece in 18K gold in Antwerp, and pricing depends on the diamonds' 4Cs.
A French pavé setting holds each small diamond in a tiny V-shaped cut-out beneath the stone, so less metal shows and more light reaches the diamond than in standard pavé. The result is extra sparkle and a near-seamless line of diamonds. Dileti sets each lab-grown French pavé ring in 18K gold in Antwerp.
Standard pavé holds diamonds with small metal beads, while French pavé seats each stone in a V-shaped groove that hides more metal and lets in more light for greater brilliance. French pavé looks more delicate up close. Dileti offers both as lab-grown diamond settings graded on the standard 4Cs.
Yes, French pavé rings suit daily wear, though the small accent diamonds sit in fine metalwork that benefits from occasional professional checks to keep every stone secure. Lab-grown diamonds share the same 10 Mohs hardness as mined ones, so durability depends on the setting. Dileti dispatches each ring within 5 to 7 business days via FedEx.
Lab-grown diamonds of 1 carat and above are IGI-certified at Dileti, while stones under 1 carat are not certified. The IGI report documents the diamond's cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight against recognised grading standards, so you can check the exact grades before you buy.
